Yeah he sucked ass but wouldn't you hate to see Jake go out like this after all the good he has done for this franchise? Don't get me wrong I want another qb starting next year but if anything we need a Jake appreciation thread...Im pissed just like everybody else but give the man a break, he played the worst game of his career but he had a pretty good season coming off surgery..I say lets keep Jake but only as a backup. If you are a true Panthers fan how could you not respect what Jake has done and how he got to this point?

I look at it this way, if the 49ers can dump Montana. Then anybody can be dumped.

True but I can see the fans running jake out of town and I would hate to see that...the man has put his heart and soul into this franchise and it would suck for his last game as a panther to be a 6 turnover playoff game.

Someone once asked me the average length of a pro football player's career.

My answer: "One year too long" :(

I have loads of respect for Delhomme, I appreciate everything he's done here, and I'd agree that some of the threads about him are out of line, ridiculous or just plain stupid.

With that said, there comes a time in every NFL player's career when it's time to hang it up. We all knew that day would come for Jake at some point, though no one really saw it coming this season.

I can't say definitively, but I think there's a strong possibility that day is here.

I'll be sad when Jake retires. Equally sad someday when Steve Smith retires, and (hopefully) further down when the time comes for DeAngelo Williams to walk into the sunset.

Regardless, no one can stop those days from arriving.

Very true and after looking at Jakes press conference, I think he knows that it has finally come to an end...but it was an amazing journey.

Jackson isn't leaving Minn, try again.

Preeeety sure he was using Jackson as an example. So that means, if I say that my Golden Retriever could've put up the same performance as Jake tonight, it doesn't actually mean I want us to sign my dog.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
